What is a common site for intravenous injection?

  1. Radial vein

  2. Axillary vein

  3. Median cubital vein

  4. Brachial vein

The correct answer is: Median cubital vein

The median cubital vein is a common site for intravenous injection because it is typically the largest and most visible vein in the antecubital fossa of the arm. This makes it easier to access and also reduces the risk of complications such as nerve or artery damage. The other options, while also veins located in the arm, may not be as prominent or easily accessed, making them less ideal for intravenous injection.
